Detroit is a big, spread-out metro area — downtown venues, DTW airport, and dozens of suburbs from Dearborn to Troy to Royal Oak. Coordinating group transportation here takes more than a bus and a GPS; it takes a driver who knows which stadium loading zone to use, which downtown streets close on game days, and how to time an airport run around DTW's terminal layout. Ground Travel Specialist has been doing exactly that for groups across southeast Michigan for years, and it's why we're recognized as Detroit's Top Rated Local® bus company.
